| HDMI Alternatives C019740- Better question; why are you putting the TV above the fireplace? That's sort of equivalent to sitting in the first few rows at the movie theater. Not good for your neck if you're going to sit there very long.Plus not ideal for audio. Way ... | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? Beerdraft- The reason why biwiring works is explained above by myself (only with two separate cables). The reason why biwiring does not work is explained above by Rodman99999 (system not resolving enough to begin with).Richard Vandersteen has sold... | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? Nissancrazy- the science behind biwiring has little to do with (DC) resistance but more to do with the effect of magnetic fields. When using one cable to drive each speaker the strong magnetic field of the bass signal modulates the weaker magnetic... | |
| High quality processors with HDMI 1.3 Darrylhifi- the Denon prepro was introducted at CES 2007, and it's still not out!! I do see it advertised by dealers in HiFi+ magazine but nothing here in the US yet. Hope you're right about the two weeks.Russ | |
| High quality processors with HDMI 1.3 To All- Kal is to be congratulated for all the hard work he puts into championing our cause; multi-channel music. His January Music in the Round was the best yet. The light at the end of the tunnel is at hand and is NOT a locomotive charging full... | |
| Devotion to 2Ch/MC? My experience with two-channel and multi-channel music is that two channel recordings sounds flat and lifeless, no matter how good it is, when you go back to it from the multi-channel version of the same recording. It takes some two-channel listen... | |
| Devotion to 2Ch/MC? Agree with Kal whole-heartedly. Plus, there seems to be an avalanche lately of new multichannel SACDs.Russ | |
| 1080p an issue for now? Dbwl- A very good thread but IMHO the only thing that will be of significance to you is screen size. At twelve to fourteen feet you're wasting your money on 1080P. The benefits of 1080P are wasted unless you move (much) closer to the screen, or pu... | |
| Conrad Johnson MET 1 6 channel Analogue help Startrek- One of the (many) early disapointments with Hi-def DVD is none of the early software, to my knowledge, is taking advantage of lossless 5.1 audio.Russ | |
| Remote Controlled Phase Reversal Switch Thanks for the responses everyone. I've also discovered that the current Herron preamps allow phase reversal from the remote. Lots of good choices!May take a look to see if any transports have this feature. My MF TriVista DAC does not. Thanks agai... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts I attended the show on Friday and spent about six hours visiting the various exhibitors looking to make a speaker purchase. While I was glad that I attended the show, I found it much less interesting than last year. Most obvious was the absence of... | |
| Parasound HCA-3500, Am I Crazy? Drhst20- Uh, is there an answer in your response to Audio girl? | |
| How to improve XM Radio audio quality? 8oclock- If you want better sound quality listen to FM (sorry, I couldn't resist that). Both satellite radio services transmit highly compressed PCM data which, when uncompressed, is inferior to CD quality (or FM) sound. If your XM tuner has a dig... | |
| Center Channel Recomendations None; use phantom center channel mode. | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? TW- The newer Denon universal players, amongst the very few that can apply speaker distance setting for SACD, do NOT convert to PCM for speaker distance setting but DO convert to PCM when bass management is called for. Check out the very thourough... |
